On the Crossroad Again

So here I am standing on the cross road again.

This is what I Waited for... - This is the post I wrote 10 days before I joined SAP and when I got Wipro's joining letter.

I mentioned that I am going to join IT industry but would not be satisfied working there. It was an inkling !!! I had been looking for options where I could get going on my own. I supported my friend Vishal in inkmytravel.com for the very same cause although I did not believe in this idea and its revenue model in the very first place.

But fate has thrown a chance at me now. My dad who was thinking to wind up his business and come to Gurgaon to live with me has suddenly started believing that the hotel business if revived can do better. This year's Kumbh Mela bookings gave a boost to his believe tremendously. But he surely can't get on with it without my help. It is mainly because the way business is done has changed over the last few years and he hasn't coped up with it surely. Therefore, he's been asking me lately that I quit my job and go back to Varanasi and get into his shoes and get started with the business.

I have thought a lot and the entrepreneur keeda and also the financial considerations are making me feel that it is not a bad option anyways.

Although, a small business but it can grow big if it is nurtured well like a tree. And like a tree, once a business gets a hold of the ground and becomes self sufficient it would keep growing and expanding if monitored cautiously and is tended to when needed. Unlike a job where you get paid at the end of the month. And at the end of the year you get a raise once depending totally NOT on how you worked and what you worked on but how the market was and how relations with your manager were over the year.

I surely need a plan to work on the ideas I have and ideas which I need to ideate. I also feel that I may get lazy once I reach there keeping in mind the city's pace of life as compared to Gurgaon. Wish that doesn't happen. Well time will only tell that...

In fact, my stint in IT industry; rather cooperate to be specific has helped me believe that the limits are endless...I would rather get to that in the next post.
